No, the republicans see themselves as pirates, looting the American public any chance they get. This time the party of "job creators" are basking in the sun, counting their booty and planning the next act of piracy on the American people. When the jobless rate in this country is almost in double digits, They are sitting on their collective asses allowing an additional 100,000 workers to be basically unemployed. President Obama should call for an emergency session so they can get those people back to work.!!!!

The American people sit on the side line and watch "W" steal the Office of President. After the donkey and elephant show we just saw in D.C., why would anybody expect anything intelligent from this country. Sometimes it is good to be poor. I did not lose anything in the stock market. Take note rich folks, the richer folks do not feel your pain!

I'm just pulling what remains in my Federal TSP next August. I simply have to get it out of the market.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
